1967 Hemi GTX restoration

[hemidart1]

Next step is to press in the spring bushings and bolt the springs to the rear end

I had traces of blue and what looked like faded yellow. I did some searching and saw that blue and yellow was used along with blue and cream

Which years?
Auto or/and 4-speed?

Mine are 50+ years faded. Need to look at closer.

I saw this online

Confirmed what I thought was still on mine

I went with blue and yellow

No, you went with the “I stand with Ukraine look”.

Attaching springs with your wife gets you really close to divorce court -haha

These were a bitch to install

Cleaned up the garage- hoping to have the shell back soon and start installing the driveline

Got the engine and transmission on a “k frame stand”

How is the clearance behind that power steering pump? My set up is rubbing so I probably am going to have to grind down the head. Have about the same set up. I need to start a thread on my 67 hemi 4 speed GTX.

Clearance is good on mine

Paint !
Let’s start with the epoxy primer. The quarters and roof are masked because they are ready for paint

Then came the dip primer - we colour matched it with a sample from under the trunk floor above the frame rail. Car was original paint so was easy to see the dip lines too. The runs in the seam sealer were to match what was originally there

Next was the grey/teal sealer in spots that we saw it when we tore the car down. Like under the headliner , inner fenders, frame rails etc

Nice details! Great work.

On my particular 66 Satellite, it shows same dip grey but red primer under the exterior painted surfaces (ZZ1 gold). The dip grey is underneath the red primer only on exterior painted and some angled overspray surfaces. Dip grey base underneath floor pan.

Some paint - waiting for a chance to tack it so we can throw some clear.
Bottom of the frame rails get no paint - just like factory

Wow, I’m getting nervous now. I have a complete power steering change over for my 66 Hemi that I have to install. I knew the manifold has to come off but now I wonder what it’s going to be like getting it back in?

 

[hemidart1]

Clear is on

Well that sure made it pop !

Gravel guard time- tried to replicate the factory spray pattern and areas they quickly taped off
